Pousada Porto dos Casais

Mornings at Porto dos Casais begin on the balcony. In the beachfront suites, that is where the day takes shape: breakfast, the heat arriving early, Praia da Concha (beach) just ahead, with the sand within reach of your feet. The pousada sits right on the sand, and that changes the rhythm of a stay. There is no commute, no car, no departure time. There is only the decision to head downstairs.

The suites and what each one offers

There are 18 suites in all, in very distinct categories. The Suíte Terraço Frente Mar combines a balcony, a whirlpool tub and a terrace with sun loungers. The Suíte Varanda Frente Mar, on the ground floor, is spacious and has a balcony facing the beach.

The Suíte Superior Loft has a view of Praia da Concha. The loft features a queen-size box bed with a spring mattress, hypoallergenic bedding and a TV with an HDMI input. For those who prefer the garden side, the Suíte Varanda Frente Jardim is available on the upper and ground floors, with a balcony, a double bed and air conditioning. The pousada advertises heat and hot water all year round.

Pool, table and sand

The facilities include a pool, a bar and a restaurant. The restaurant serves in three places: on the sand of the beach, by the pool and in the suites themselves, with room service. Having lunch facing Concha or dinner on the balcony is the guest's choice, not the dining room's.

The menu revolves around fish and seafood. There is seafood moqueca, fish fillet moqueca and fish and shrimp moqueca, as well as grilled fish fillet in white wine. Those who prefer pasta will find penne in shrimp sauce and seafood penne. For meat, the house offers filet mignon risotto, filet mignon in red wine and herb-crusted filet mignon.

350 meters from the center

The pousada faces Praia da Concha and is 350 meters from the center of Itacaré. The math is simple: you wake up on the beach and, when you want a different plan, the center is close by. Guests arriving from out of town can also count on a transfer, parking for those who come by car, laundry service and Wi-Fi. The front desk is open 24 hours, every day.

Who it's for

For couples, as the name suggests, and for anyone who wants to be right on the beach, with a restaurant and pool within the pousada. It makes sense for those who value air conditioning and comfort after a day in the sun. The listing mentions accessibility, but it is worth confirming with the pousada what each suite offers before booking. It is not the right place for those traveling with pets, which are not allowed.
